What is the projected net income for 2017?
The income statement, also known as the profit and loss (P&L) statement, provides a snapshot of the financial performance of a company during a specified period of time. It reports a firm's gross income, expenses, net income, and the income that is available for distribution to its preferred and common shareholders. The income statement is prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that match the firm's revenues and expenses to the period in which they were incurred, not necessarily when cash was received or paid. Investors and analysts use the information given in the income statement and other financial statements and reports to evaluate the company's financial performance and condition. Consider the following scenario: Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.'s income statement reports data for its first year of operation. The firm's CEO would like sales to increase by 25% next year. 1.

Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical firms except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 80 percent for the next year and the probability of a recession is 20 percent. If the expansion continues, each firm will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $3.9 million. If a recession occurs, each firm will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.3 million. Steinberg's debt obligation requires the firm to pay $930,000 at the end of the year. Dietrich's debt obligation requires the firm to pay $1.4 million at the end of the year. Neither firm pays taxes. Assume a discount rate of 12 percent. a-1.
